The Keeshond has a dense, wiry coat. Its color is described as “silver” in the certificate but it’s actually grayish black. The coat protects him from freezing weather so well that for him anyway, central heating in one’s home is unnecessary. Therefore, the Keeshond’s coat is difficult to take care of; however, if the owner has some experience, the results will be amazing. The Keeshond loves human company and exercises with pleasure. Having a delicate ear, the Keeshond responds to guests’ arrival with loud barking, especially if they are strangers.
